My "Great White North"
ffrn:
Roland, What is a hostas? You seem to have a lot of plants we don't have here. Which doesn't help when I'm trying to guess what yours are. :-\
Sheriff Roland:
Hostas are shade loving, humididy loving leaffy plants. I've only got 3 varieties all of em really small (3 - 6 inches wide) but the really pretty ones are significantly larger. I often see em 2 or 3 feet across, and they do make flowers too. I'll go take a picture a my neighbour's - be back within 15 minutes ...
Sheriff Roland:
This one's my neighbour's - the larger leaves are over a foot long (got the truck in the picture to help with dimensions)
Sheriff Roland:
The neighbour's are yer average size - they can be larger... but mine are miniature in comparison (not sure if they're just young or a dif'rent variery, but here goes ...)
This first one's grown a lot since last year - at least 6 inches for the largest leaf:
The next has also grown from last year - maybe 4 or 5 inches (and we're still very early in the season, I think)
These last ones are only about 3 inches long (but I've got more'n 2 dozen a em)
I think the shape of the leaves, and the lines in the leaves are what defines em.
ffrn:
I don't recognise them at all R olnd. Maybe they're a plant that needs a much cooler climate in winter than what we have here.
